Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It has significantly reduced the amount of manual work required to manage our backup operations. We're going from an on-prem to a non-on-prem, we're all doing nonsolutions. So we really can't compare it against anything else.""Technical support is great.""Commvault Backup & Recovery's search utility is its most valuable feature.""We can go from one page to another page, from office backups to VM backups, or applications like secret backups. So everything can be configured or restored from a single pin.""The product is a reliable solution.""The most valuable feature is the ability to backup over the dedicated Fiber Channel directly from SAN.""It integrates redundant storage and preserves jams in a storage area, providing up to 70% compression rate.""The solution has the fastest backup and better licensing."

"It indexes much faster, and is more reflexive because of the Enscripts.""I like the processing feature on the product because it does everything at once, i.e, indexing, recovery, keyword searches, etc.""It speeds up the process, so I can meet my deadlines.""The technical support is excellent.""The solution is very stable.""The most important feature we've found is the Enscripts. That is one powerful feature that I, personally, love to use.""Data Recovery: Its ability to repair damaged partitions and uncover hidden partitions from within the tool, and allow further analysis."

Cons
"They can improve the security level for Windows. When mapping to the Windows, Commvault can take full control over data volumes so that the attacker can't delete the volume data, but the Windows admin can access the volumes. It would be great to block access at that level.""The new HTML5-based management portals are very nice, but do not yet have all of the features of the Java-based client.""Mostly controls, visibility, cost allocation.""One issue we face is the complexity of the console. That could be improved on. It takes users time to get familiar with Commvault. On average, it takes our customers between one and three months to learn it. The console and the way you configure Commvault have very advanced settings. It takes time to understand how it works.""It does not have an easy deployment. The deployment is not something that just anybody can go in and deploy.""My customers are not satisfied with the tool because there is a little trouble with the throughput of Metallic.""The HTML interface is a remarkable improvement. However, there are still some features that are not available in that interface that are available in the Java console, but I'm sure that will come with time.""I would like to see a more user-friendly GUI."

More Commvault Cloud Cons →

"​Sometimes the application can take more time to complete the image processing or fail at the end of the process.​""In the past, incident response time for tech support was slow.""The reporting is a bit unreliable. It needs to be better.""There were minor UI bugs.""Ease of use and learning curve need improvement.""We have come across problems with the end-case. We could not find an email discovery type of module and there was not flexibility with the email.""I would like to see a capability to ingest and absorb more data. That would be really good. It currently is lacking this function."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "If budget allows using the per socket license and not the agent based with per GB counter for Dedup is the way to go."
  • "There is now a subscription based licence option that, depending on your environment, could offer a more efficient method to licence the solution if you are OPEX cost driven rather than CAPEX."
  • "New licensing is easy and affordable."
  • "Licensing could be better explained. Sometimes, it's unclear what features are available in different licensing models."
  • "Compared to other competitors and vendors the pricing is fair."
  • "In my experience, compared to solutions like Veritas and Veeam, while they do have their technical pluses and minuses, Commvault can save you on average forty percent initially, and then twenty to twenty-five percent annually."
  • "The price could perhaps be lower as well."
  • "Our cost is around $20,000 per month. The previous year, it was around $30,000 per month. It now costs less because Commvault changed the licensing type for providers."

  • "​The product is affordable and user-friendly.​"
  • "EnCase is an affordable solution."
  • "We have a license. And, we found the cost high. We contacted them and talked to them about the ratio of the US dollar versus the Indian rupee and then we came to a solution."
